What are the benefits of having an EV charger?
Having your own EV charger (especially one installed at home) has many benefits that make life easier and save money in the long run. Let's go through them one by one:
Benefits of having your own EV charger
- Charge at home every night, just like plugging in your phone
- No time wasted queuing or detouring to a charging station
- Charging at home (especially at night) is cheaper than charging at stations
- If you have solar panels at home, you save even more
- You can schedule charging to start, e.g. late at night when electricity is cheaper
- Some models can switch off automatically or let you set the battery % you want
- Purpose-designed chargers have protection against power surges, heat, water and other electrical problems
- Safe for both your home and your car
- Most Wallboxes charge many times faster than a household socket (3.6 – 22 kW)
Got an EV? Don't forget to install a charger at home and take convenience to the next level!
Which charger can your home take?
The right charger depends on your meter size, your existing electrical panel and the distance from the panel to your parking spot — not just your car model. Send photos of your panel and parking spot on LINE and our team will give you a first assessment, or see the four installation options and their pros and cons on our installation service page.
